"We, on the other hand, revel in our opponents' ignorance and gain much joy in pointing it out for all to see. "
- You were doing fine up to this point, but don't you realize that with this one sentence you suddenly revealed yourself to be just another elitist who looks down on others who don't share your views?
In fact, when "We..revel in our opponents ignorance and gain much joy in pointing it out.." then aren't you doing exactly what you accuse Ann of doing in her book?
In fact, I would say that you and Ann are of a kind. Maybe you reject her because you see so much of her in yourself.
Perhaps it's just the old liberal curse of self loathing expressed through transference.
Hmmmmm.
Some do it for principle, Ann does it for the money!
I am elite, and I reserve the right to look down on those who revel in their ignorance.
Only under communism are all men forced to be equal.
